<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; margin: 0px;">Under a unique and innovative program CHEEERS Recovery Center has received funding though SAMHSA’s </span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; margin: 0px;">Building Communities of Recovery Grants to provide credentialed Peer/ Recovery Supports who currently or plan to work with pregnant women with substance use disorders specialized training to become a certified Doula.</span></span></div>

<b><i><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">What’s a Doula?</span></span></i></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<i><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">A doula, also known as a birth companion, birth coach or post-birth supporter, is a non-medical person who assists a woman before, during, or after childbirth, to provide emotional support and physical help if needed. They also may provide support to the mother's partner and family. </span></span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<strong><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Why?</span></span></strong></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">CHEEERS believes that Peer Support is part of the solution to address Arizona’s Opiate and Substance Use Epidemic. </span></strong><i><span style="margin: 0px;">Integrated Health addressing the whole person, providing support for pregnancy and recovery; it’s a win win!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></i></span></span><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;"></span></strong></div>

<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">Consider that in the date range of </span></strong><span style="margin: 0px;">June15, 2017 – November 21, 2018, Arizona reported 1450 babies with Neonatal Abstinence Disorder, and estimated that only 51% of women with Opiate Addiction are receiving the recommended treatment while pregnant. </span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="margin: 0px;">We know that pregnant women often do not seek services and support due to fear, judgment and shame and we know that Peer Support can help.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Receiving proper treatment, care and support is critical in the woman’s health and in the health of her baby. </span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Providing Arizona’s peer supports with doula training will better prepare the workforce to assist pregnant women through the prenatal care, birth and post-partum phases while supporting the unique issues relating to recovery and substance use.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Continuous support during pregnancy and birth from a person outside the mother's family or social circle, is associated with reduced mortality rates, improved overall health of the mother and the baby, shorter labor time,<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>and a lower need for medical interventions and can reduce a mothers' negative feelings about their childbirth experience.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">This unique opportunity will provide Arizona’s Peer Recovery Specialists with training to include testing and certification costs to become a doula and <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>work with Pregnant, Post- Partum women (and their families) who have substance use and mental health disorders.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A doula, also known as
a birth companion, birth coach or post-birth supporter, is a non-medical person
who assists a woman before, during, or after childbirth, to provide emotional
support and physical help if needed. They also may provide support to the mother's
partner and family. </span></span></i></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">CHEEERS
believes that Peer Support is part of the solution to address Arizona’s Opiate
and Substance Use Epidemic. </span></strong><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Integrated Health addressing the whole person, providing
support for pregnancy and recovery; it’s a win win!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></i></span></span></span><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;"></span></strong></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">Consider that in the date
range of </span></strong><span style="margin: 0px;">June15,
2017 – November 21, 2018, Arizona reported 1450 babies with Neonatal Abstinence
Disorder, and estimated that only 51% of women with Opiate Addiction are
receiving the recommended treatment while pregnant. </span></span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="margin: 0px;">We know that pregnant women often do not seek services and support due
to fear, judgment and shame and we know that Peer Support can help.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Receiving proper treatment, care and support
is critical in the woman’s health and in the health of her baby. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Providing Arizona’s peer supports with doula training will better
prepare the workforce to assist pregnant women through the prenatal care, birth
and post-partum phases while supporting the unique issues relating to recovery
and substance use.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Continuous support during pregnancy and birth from a person outside the
mother's family or social circle, is associated with reduced mortality rates,
improved overall health of the mother and the baby, shorter labor time,<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>and a lower need for medical interventions and
can reduce a mothers' negative feelings about their childbirth experience.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><b>KANSAS CITY, MO. (September 19, 2017) — </b>The ATTC
Center of Excellence on Behavioral Health for Pregnant and Postpartum Women and
Their Families (ATTC CoE-PPW), located at the University of Missouri-Kansas
City School of Nursing and Health Studies, has produced a documentary to
promote a family-centered approach to addiction treatment and recovery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<a href="http://www.bringthemall.org/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: "calibri";">“Bring Them All”</span></a><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
tells the story of family-centered care through the perspectives of clients and
staff at </span><a href="http://www.shieldsforfamilies.org/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: "calibri";">SHIELDS for Families</span></a><span style="font-family: "calibri";">,
a treatment program in Compton, CA, which proves that the seemingly impossible
can be done: to move forward a generation of children who never experience—or
even remember—the challenges of growing up with family addiction.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">A pioneer in this model of care, co-founder and CEO, Kathryn
Icenhower, Ph.D., and her team describe what it’s like to work in a program
that lets women bring their whole family to experience the recovery journey
together.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">“Addiction is a family disease,” Sarah Knopf-Amelung,
Executive Producer, shares. “Yet mothers are often treated in isolation from
their children and partners, having to choose between getting treatment and
keeping their families together. This revolutionary program changes all of that
by letting women bring them all—fathers/partners and children of all ages.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">CHEEERS offers a variety of opportunities for our program participants to share their experience strength and hope. Yesterday Brett H. along with our Admissions and Intake Coordinator, Jennifer Brunson, visited Southwest Network, San Tan Clinic in Chandler, where Brett shared his story. While visiting Southwest San Tan, Brett also provided information about our program schedule, community events and recovery services to encourage others to join and to ensure those working at the clinic are aware of the tremendous resource CHEEERS is in the community. Brett serves as a Director on the CHEEERS Participant Advisory Council and is a volunteer CHEEERS Recovery Ambassador (helping new members to feel welcome). Thank you for all you do Brett ! You are truly leading by example! Brett will be visiting several clinics to share his story over the next two months. If you are interesting in learning more or becoming involved in our Community Outreach, please contact Jennifer Brunson at </span><a href="mailto:Jennifer.brunson@cheers.org"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jennifer.brunson@cheeers.org</span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">.</span><br />

Pictured is our CHEEERS staff standing in front of our new 2017 Chevy Express 12 Passenger van that will be used to transport our programs participants to various community outings, resources and events. CHEEERS offers an OutNAbout program with a primary purpose to develop recreational, social and community integration skills. Five times a week we are out in the community at various activities to include our Adopt a Street Program, Graffiti Busters, and visiting our Community Garden on the weekends. Having a van that can transport 12 of our participants, safely to and from these events allows us to engage more individuals in activities. We also have a van equipped for wheel chair access on the way! Thank you to our partners at City of Phoenix that made this process seamless and for supporting what we do at CHEEERS. </span><br />

wishes to thank Diane DiCioccio who graciously shared her expertise, time
and energy to develop our website through a Service by Design project
and Experience Matters. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For those who don't
know, Experience Matters is a wonderful resource that matches
experienced, business professionals who are looking for opportunities to
give back and share their expertise with local service and non-profit
organizations. CHEEERS submitted a proposal for a project to
re-design our website (okay, that's not what we proposed, but it's
what we decided was needed after meeting with Diane). We feel extremely
grateful that Diane chose us as an organization to assist. Not only do we
have a fantastic website to show off, we have thoroughly enjoyed the exchange, benefit
of her vast knowledge in marketing, and the support and encouragement she
has offered us, as the business savvy woman that she is. We even had the good
fortune of having Carly, Diane's equally talented and savvy daughter, join us
for a summer internship on her break from Barnard College, Columbia
University! Please check out our website and while you are there,
subscribe to this blog, and stay updated on what's new at

Everyone came out wearing their grass skirts and Hawaiian shirts, and colorful decorations covered the walls. The smell of summer luau barbecue wafted through the halls and music and laughter could be heard immediately upon walking through the door.

The group met with Higher Octave Healing, an organization dedicated to healing through music therapy. </span></span><br />
<br />
In this session, participants explored emotion and expression within a drum circle. Though the group’s music taste differed from swing music to hard rock, they all agreed that music is a powerful force when used to relax and calm down.<br />
<br />
Higher Octave healing had a number of drum games planned and the participants shared lots of laughs as they tried out a completely new experience. In addition to learning a new instrument, participants were given the challenge to convey a certain emotion through purely drums and facial expression. While some emotions such as “bitterness” were difficult to guess, things like “peace” and “joy” were immediately recognizable. This activity gave participants an opportunity to work together and explore how to read others’ emotions.<br />
<br />
The session went by quickly and by the end everyone was smiling. The participants expressed how much they loved the music therapy. One participant even declared “Music practice time is music happy time.” There is no doubt that the participants will return next week for round 2 of Higher Octave healing.</div>
